Negaunee board approves $300,000 sale of administrative building, holds closed session on 31aa funding
Summary
The Negaunee Public Schools Board adopted a resolution to sell its Administrative Building at 101 S. Pioneer Avenue for $300,000 and authorized the superintendent to complete the transaction; the board also entered a closed executive session to discuss 31aa funding and took no action in that session.
The Negaunee Public Schools Board of Education voted Nov. 19, 2025, to adopt a resolution authorizing the sale of the district’s Administrative Building at 101 S. Pioneer Avenue for $300,000 and to empower the superintendent to finalize related documents and take actions necessary to complete the sale.
Board member Todd Saunders moved and Dave Paananen seconded the resolution as presented. The minutes record a roll call vote of Yea: 5, Nay: 0, Absent: 2. The motion authorizes the superintendent to sign and finalize transaction documents; the minutes do not list any purchaser name beyond the sale price and property address.
Separately, the board moved into a closed executive session to discuss an upcoming decision regarding “31aa” funding. Dave Paananen moved to go into closed session, supported by Fae Collins; the motion carried on a 5–0 vote with two members absent. Business Manager Michelle LaMere joined the executive session. The minutes state the board entered executive session at 10:38 a.m. and returned to open session at 10:57 a.m., and they record that no action was taken in executive session. The written minutes also list adjournment at 10:56 a.m.; that creates a timing inconsistency in the record (see audit notes).
The minutes do not provide details about the substance of the 31aa funding discussion or list next steps tied to that funding item. The sale resolution includes authorization for the superintendent to complete the transaction; the minutes do not specify closing dates or contingencies.
